Lots of Fun Things To Do

All within 2 miles of each other, these 5 museums run along the gorgeous Arkansas River. There’s Botanica Wichita, Exploration Place, the Mid-America All-Indian Center, Old Cowtown Museum, and the Wichita Art Museum, which is surrounded by a new art garden with plantings and pathways that highlight outdoor sculpture. Admission always free on Saturdays at the Wichita Art Museum.

Wichita also has art galleries, botanical gardens, and a world-class zoo called Tanganyika Park, an interactive zoo that allows you to get up close and personal with the animals, like feeding a giraffe and petting a kangaroo. And for film buffs, Wichita is definitely a movie town with one of the largest IMAX theaters in the country.

Once considered the biggest screen in the world, the Warren IMAX theater has an 82ft 3D screen and 601 seats. Then there’s the annual Tallgrass Film Festival, specializing in independent films every October. It was ranked in the Top 50 Film Fests worth the entry fee by MovieMaker Magazine. Last year they screened a whopping total of 170 films.

Getaways to Kansas City & Oklahoma City
